Profile:
Almost throughout the fifties, `Nana' Joshi and Naren Tamhane battled
it out for the stumper's slot in the Indian team. A flashy
wicketkeeper, Joshi on his day could be brilliant but also had lapses
of form. On his debut against against England in 1951-52 he had two
catches and two stumpings in the first innings, which remained his
best performance in a Test. He toured West Indies in 1953 and England
in 1959. At home he played against England in 1951-52, Pakistan in
1952-53 and 1960-61, West Indies in 1958-59 and Australia in 1959-60.
A useful late order batsman who frequently opened the batting for his
state, Joshi and Ramakant Desai put on 149 runs for the ninth wicket
against Pakistan in 1960-61, still the Indian record for that
wicket. Joshi's score was 52 not out. Interestingly enough, this was
his last Test. In a first class career spanning almost two decades,
Joshi had 180 dismissals, 119 of them caught. He captained Maharashtra
for several years.(Partab Ramchand)
